Trump Demands an All-But-Doomed Bill

New York Times: “The SAVE America Act, which President Trump envisions as legislation that can both crack down on illegal immigrants voting and transgender surgeries, is not the type of bill that appears designed to pass into law. Democrats detest it, Republicans have few realistic options to maneuver around them to advance it, and the two sides have engaged in no serious negotiations.”

“Mr. Trump himself acknowledges the bill’s dismal prospects.”

“Yet Mr. Trump is insisting on a monthslong public fight over the bill, and the hodgepodge of provisions he is demanding be added to it, while threatening to hold up other business.”
